PSU Help.

[nofx]

Ive just noticed the fan on my PSU I bought like 2 years ago that came with that comp isn't blowing naymore. Should this something I be worried about? BTW Im planning on building a comp soon.

Oh yeah. Your PSU is what powers your system and it needs to be cooled. Get a replacement fan or PSU.

I have no money to waste on this peice of s, comp so Ill let this thing ride out its life..

What if it goes dead tomorrow? :x
All it needs is a fan. A 2$ fan lol
Heat and stress will kill it.

Dude, just take a 80mm fan from the your case (if you have one) strip the black and red wires and use some electricians wire ties to replace the one inside the PSU!!! Or you could solder the stripped wires to the PSU contacts.

Ok Cheeba I have no idea what you just tried to get to me but... thanks.
And Asus I want this thing to die, this so called computer is beyond ass sucking, is there anyway i could donate it and get some money off of it ? I don't really want to sell it because it would be a ripoff.

'Donate' and 'get some money off of it' are completely contradictory. Why don't you do the decent thing and donate it to a charity or school for free, at least some people will get some use and enjoyment out of it, even if you can't.

What are the specs?

1.5ghz P4, GFX 5200 128MB, 512SDRAM, 40gig HD. 4300 3dmarks01

You can sell that for some pretty good money. You have a Pentium 4, (I know it's a bad one but I thought you were gonna say P3) 512 ram, 40gb hdd not bad, and well at least a 128mb gfx card. You can sell that, that's a nice system for a non-gamer. Don't just let it die, just get a new $2 fan and sell it for like $300 or maybe more, in fact, turn it off right now, go on, go. :bounce:

Where could I sell it? Like computer show, business person? Im not really into reselling comp parts.

 

[bosox188]

Hmm... ebay? Or a personal sale, like friends, I dunno. Yard sale? Ad in the newspaper?
